In the summer of 2023, we started talking with Alistair Marks, Marieke Hagemans and Nathaniel Reilly-O’Donnell of British Rowing about our future plans. They were keen to see how they could help us to professionalise and become more sustainable. Through their support this enabled us to appoint Jen Hinds as our new Office Manager. Jen is well known at Warrington Rowing Club and is an experienced coach for Warrington Youth Rowing. Her experience of rowing, energy and knowledge of IT and Marketing is a great addition to our team. Alongside Jen we now have a fundraising team that is tasked with the sustainability of the Charity. The support from British Rowing, alongside the long term visionary support from Henley Royal Regatta Charitable Trust, has helped us to move forward and become more established.
